Suspended BJP MLA Kunwar Pranav Singh Champion landed in fresh trouble Wednesday when a video clip showing him dancing with guns in his hands went viral.
In the purported video, the Khanpur MLA is seen dancing to a popular Bollywood number with two revolvers in his hands and a carbine hanging from his shoulder. He is seen sipping his drink from a glass as his friends cheer him on.
The MLA is no stranger to controversies.
The BJP had suspended Champion from the party for three months on charges of indiscipline last month.
The suspension had followed preliminary investigations by the party into charges of indiscipline against him and that of threatening a journalist at Uttarakhand Niwas in New Delhi.
He was in the news a couple of months ago for publicly indulging in a war of words with BJP MLA from Jhabreda Deshraj Karnawal and challenging him to a wrestling bout.
Champion was among Congress MLAs who had rebelled against former chief minister Harish Rawat and crossed over to the BJP in 2016.
